The Miami Dolphins have fired coach Cam Cameron after his only season produced only one win. Cameron was fired Thursday by new Dolphins' boss Bill Parcells, which means the reeling franchise will have its fifth head coach in five seasons in 2008.

But he was doing such a great job this year!
Fred Thompson’s campaign just picked him up...
Clearing the way for Tony Sparano
This is not a surprise, considering that Bill Parcells wants coaches of the quality that Parcells is familiar with.
"Next time you throw an interception, you're getting whacked."
I thought Cameron was a bad choice in the first place. His selling point was “I made Ladanian”; which was a total lie.

Remember Jimmy Johnson was 1-15 in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys back in 1990.
Who would dare take that job?
They'd be lucky to get a high school coach.
They’ll be able to pick up Wade Phillips just as soon as JJ whacks him after the ‘Boys lose in the playoffs. That is, if Wade is over his neck surgery. I’m told he will have to have ligament repair from all the nodding he did when ever JJ sent down orders. Hell I even heard they’re talking about a Wade Phillips bobblehead doll.
I am shocked........
Jimmy Johnson never called for his quarterback to spike the ball on first down with 1:11 to play in the half, a time out still available and 9 yards to go for a touchdown.
If Jerry Jones fired Wade Phillips after going 1-15, ESPN would claim that JJ is the Devil.
But since the talking heads at ESPN are drunk on the Bill Parcell’s koolaide, they don’t care.
What a shame. Brain Billick sacrificed his job with the Ravens so that Cam could keep his. /s
No way to get around being the coach of a team that went one-and-fifteen. Who will The Tuna hire as coach I wonder? Some Parcells acolyte? Someone from the college ranks (I doubt it!)? Stay tuned!
The Cowboys of 1990 had potential though - they at least had Troy Aikman at QB. What have the Dolphins of 2007 got? Other than Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas they don’t have any standout talent, and even those two are getting on in years....
“Remember Jimmy Johnson was 1-15 in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys back in 1990.”
True, but they were completely reinventing that team. IIRC.
They made one of the best trades ever, Herschel Walker for the 5 high draft picks. Great move by the Cowboys.
Nick Saban rides off into the sunset at Alabama and Cameron gets canned. You could have had the perfect coaching making every perfect call this season and the Dolphins weren’t winning more than four games.
I love the revisionist history with Parcells’ drafts. Most have them have stunk.
